Mount Timpanogos is the breathtaking backdrop for winter recreation. One such activity, snowboarding, is enjoyed by many Utah residents and visitors during the winter season. Veteran's are honored at UVSC, Rebecca McGettigan Sr. News Editor Around the country flags were raised, parades filled streets, and graves were decorated as people everywhere honored the service men of this country. UVSC join the world in celebration with their own festivities on Monday. A flag ceremony was the first of the day's activities to commemorate Veterans Day. The ceremony was held at the south front flag pole at UVSC. Master of Ceremonies for the event was Bob Rasmussen. The flag ceremony was performed by the UVSC ROTC, and Encore, UVSC's performing group, sang the National Anthem. Speakers for the event were Phil Clegg and Dick Chappcll. A reception was held as part of the festivities. Colonel Walter Stewart, a former World War II pilot, spoke to students and faculty Intenxrtional students find friends at UVSC Todd Piki Pita Staff Writer Have you ever been to a foreign country where you could hardly speak the language and communicating with the locals seemed, well... a little overwhelming? However odd or difficult this might sound, a unique thing about Utah Valley State College's student body is a lot of us can relate to this. Those who have shared in this experience, more than likely were able to adjust in a relatively short amount of time. They probably began mingling with the locals in a matter of weeks and about his experiences in the war. Stewart was identified in his batal-lion as "Utah Man", because that was the name of the plane he flew. Stewart caught the attention of the audience with his story about his experience in a particularly dangerous combat mission during World War II. The mission was to fly into enemy territory at fifty feet and bomb seven oil refineries. One-hundred and seventy-eight engine bombers without fire protection were assigned to the mission.

So, with these examples of social adaptation, why is the International Student Council (ISC) so concerned with our international students adapting to life on UVSC's campus? Let me put it this way, how many of you students know when Samoan flag day is? If you were born and raised in Samoa you would know it is on April 17. If you just transferred from the states to American Samoa Community College in Pago Pago you might not know. In fact, you might just sit in your room and do homework and miss the dav the 222-8617, Section Editors 222-8602, Photo by Nate Bench across country ColiefS whole island had waited for. Meanwhile you spend the rest of the semester mingling exclusively with English speakers and gaining neither an understanding nor an appreciation for the culture. The ISC is here to see that our international students gain this understanding and appreciation for our culture. While they do encourage the study, they want an intermingling of students . So what is the key factor to the quick adjustment of some of our students in foreign countries? Was it pure will power? Was it the trusty SpanishEnglish dictionary?

"The document is the same one we have already seen, thoroughly investigated and discounted," James Kallstrom, head of the FBI's criminal investigation, said Saturday. Kallstrom said Salinger's two-page document has circulated on the Internet since August. The message has spawned rumors that "friendly fire" was behind the July 17 explosion of the Paris-bound jumbo jet, which killed all 230 people aboard. Federal officials have repeatedly said such rumors have been investigated and unproven. And after Salinger's claim gave the theory new life, Kallstrom called a news conference Friday to label it "absolute, pure utter nonsense." . Salinger, a former ABC News correspondent and press secretary for President Kennedy, said his document details how the Navy was testing missiles off Long Island and accidentally hit Flight 800 because the jet was flying lower than expected. Salinger has acknowledged that the information has circulated on the Internet. But he said the document was given to him by someone in French intelligence in Paris, and written by an American who "was tied to the U.S. Secret Service and has important contacts in the U.S. Navy." "Since I saw it 1 spoke with other people who told me it was correct," he said Friday. Salinger did not return several blip's. Corner Who stays home with the children 'when they're ill?
